Why did we sign Holmes?

[ThatJa]

Just asking like.

 

[Bladesman]

Why did we sign most of those players in January?

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Probs cos this forum clamoured for him once

 

[zablade]

We thought we were getting Sherlock Holmes?

 

[LJBlade]

Just asking like.

Are you expecting someone on here to know?

 

[shrubbery]

The bench was a bit cold.

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

This is just a guess but I think it was probably because of his top knot and his funny little run.

 

[robbiez666]

Leonard and Holmes are both odd signings considering how long we chased them for.

The only explanation I can think of is that Brooks was going to leave in the JTW before he got ill.

 

[Fraggle Blade]

I was expecting him to be replacing Duffy from the bench after about 70 minutes most games..........I don't think the early back injury he had did him any favours, but you'd be thinking he'd be getting some game time now, especially while Duffy was out injured.

 

[cahill]

Holmes...Holmes...Holmes.... No never heard of him

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Assume we bought him for the player he was, not the player he is.

Think Tufty remembered him from a couple of years back and thought he was getting that player.

It happens...

Pathetic budget I know, but all of Wilder’s JTW signings were poor.

What was the budget?

 

[Esablade]

...a tough one...

 

[1973Blade]

Both him and Leonard need to be given a chance, I think they will feature more next season.

 

[Steve Mackan]

Both him and Leonard need to be given a chance, I think they will feature more next season.

Leonard's actually got a career in front of him, whereas most of Holmes's is behind. Still deserves a chance though.

 

[yorkshirecoast]

What was the budget?

A pathetic one. How much do you think the likes of Donaldson cost? £50k? Our budget is that of a small L1 club.

 

[Harry's Game]

We may as well give Holmes and Leonard a go now for the last two games, realistically there is nothing on them.

 

[Agreasychipbutty]

Just because hes hasn't turned into our best player in half a season doesn't mean he should be written off, hes been injured for half of it and we haven't seen him play enough to judge how good he is. Still a bit disappointing tho...

So how much was it? You seem to know

 

[yorkshirecoast]

A pathetic budget befitting of our tinpot owners.

 

[LJBlade]

Ah, so you don’t know then. You could have just said that the first time I asked.

 

[Ricky]

£1.1m spent on Leonard and Holmes in January.

We've got about 20 grand's worth out of them.

Bargain basement gone wrong

This season we've spent £4.3m.

Which small League One clubs have spent £4.3m?

I doubt that. But even if we had, it’s pathetic by championship standards.

Doubt what?

£961,000 Stearman
£750,000 L. Evans
£700,000 Leonard
£650,000 Baldock
£500,000 C. Evans
£476,000 Lundstram
£290,000 Thomas

Did you think we'd acquired all these players for free or something?

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Just asking like.

Because he was a cheap option.

No course not you're absolutely correct we have a massive budget befitting of a team that averages 27k a match. I've absolutely no idea why anyone is.moanimg.
